Police said officers found her body after responding to reports of an unresponsive woman in one of the hotel's rooms.
According to an arrest warrant, officers found a spent .40 caliber bullet casing in the room that matched casings from the scene of a Jan. 21 ShotSpotter alert.
A search of Washington's cellphone records showed his device near the scene of both the hotel murder and the ShotSpotter shooting, the warrant said.

Phone records also showed messages between Ceballos-Henrique and a phone subscribed to Washington in which they discussed meeting at her hotel room for sex, the warrant said.
Washington was being held without bond Friday, Miami-Dade jail records showed. Attorney information wasn't available.
